Steve C left this review about The Boot and Shoe

The Boot and Shoe has an L-shaped bar counter in the right rear corner that supports a standard and premium keg range alongside Lords Brewing’s 80s Blonde and TT Landlord. A third handpump went unused. Along the front windows are two separate seating areas, both with banquettes and sofas. The slightly larger right hand side also has a fireplace. At the back of the pub are another couple of small seating areas to the left and right of the rear exit. Televisions are located throughout, but these were all off in favour of some Elvis playing from the jukebox in the distant background. Out the back is a large beer garden that houses a long marquee full of high tables and stools. To the left of the marquee are more tables for those who like a bit of sun.
I found the service to be friendly enough, but the locals around the bar were a bit frosty. Shame as this is an interesting pub.

I turned up here on a January Friday to find it quiet. It's an old pub that has low ceilings and a central bar serving various small areas or rooms off it. All the TVs were turned off on my visit but there was a music track playing. The young student barmaid was friendly enough and the one punter while I was there was an old bloke who had moved to Nantwich after losing his wife.
There were four hand pumps which had Landlord, Doom Bore and Fuggle Bunny Festive Fuggle & Cotton Tail. I went for the Festive Fuggle which I had to send back but the Cotton Tail (£3.60) which replaced it was fine. I found this place to be OK and thought at first it might be expensive but it's Nantwich itself that is expensive.

An old cottage style pub that sells national brand real ale. A beer garden out back has a large bouncy castle so naturally its full of screaming kids. Their owners all seem to think they're from Hollyoaks or Beverley Hills 90210(or whatever) and are so full of themselves its quite scary. It should be a decent boozer but like R A Ray says below the clientele are mostly tedious pricks and prickesses.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Boot and Shoe

Four ales on handpump, Pride, Bombardier, Tetleys Original and Tetleys Gold. I decided on the London Pride and have to say it was excellent, but very overpriced. The barmaid hadn't a clue when trying to fill my pint glass, she kept pulling the beer into the glass, trying to get rid of the lively head. I saw a least a full pint wasted into the glass tray. Maybe that's why they charge so much.
The pub is traditional in style with low ceilings and different seating areas. The downside to this pub is the amount of gaming machines scattered throughout the place. The other irritation was the pretentious customers it attracts, enough to make you vomit, especially the blokes, who all want to be best pals with the female staff. You see a lot of phoney hugs and kisses on each cheek here. Would I return? Err! no chance.

The Boot and Shoe is a decent pub that is just off the town centre shopping area.
This pub was quite nice inside with comfortable seating and there was also a decent choice of real ales on the bar i had a drink of Taylor Landlord which was a very nice drink the other beers were Tetley bitter, Caledonian 80/-, Caledonian IPA and Boddingtons bitter.
I was quite happy having a drink in this pub.
